Vehicle logs from the incident were not available immediately after the crash took place, which Tesla previously told The Drive was due to the severity and type of the incident. But Musk took to Twitter yesterday to announce Autopilot was not activated when the crash took place, as well as to claim the wreck would not have happened if it were. When questioned as to why it took the automaker weeks to figure this out, Musk explained the company had "just gained access to the physical vehicle."

Currently, it is unclear as to why the owner told authorities he had Autopilot engaged, but Musk gave a few reasonable answers on Twitter.

The CEO also said if a computer systems crash or something along those lines were to occur, the company would have picked that up when reviewing the vehicle logs.
